has anyone addressed this? I know a few people have this. the outside of the lens has just started to dull (not moisture related).

I tried some meguires cleaner, then polish. no dice. I know there is some better stuff out there. Anyone had success?

I might be interested in somebody's 2k or 2k1 set (that upgrades to 2k2). I would REALLY like the 2k2's but cant see myself hammering on the frame

The same thing has happened to me...what I used is the 3M rubbing compound on the entire headlight assembly and put 2 coats on it, buffed it out with their glaze and my headlights looked brand new.

Check the sticky "Cleaning Your Max" the last post was about this subject I think.

my headlights are cloudy from inside...so i can't use 3M rubbing compound on them...
when i went to a dealership, they told me it was just a normal wear-and-tear thing..and they also recommended that i take out the headlight housing(minus the bulbs) and dip it into water+CLR solution...and then let it dry...i dont' know if this works cuz i've never tried it yet.
